When it comes to product protection during storage or transit, WOW Pads by Frank Lowe are quickly becoming the go-to solution across industries. Whether you’re just discovering them or are considering switching from traditional materials like cardboard or bubble wrap, this FAQ will help you understand why WOW Pads are worth the hype and how they can work for your business.
What are WOW Pads?
WOW Pads are die-cut protective pads made from high-performance materials such as NeoRebond or Polyfoam. They are designed to prevent product damage during handling, shipping, and storage by cushioning, spacing, and protecting surfaces from scratching, scuffing, or impact.
What makes WOW Pads different from cardboard, bubble wrap, or foam sheets?
While cardboard and bubble wrap offer some basic protection, WOW Pads deliver far more reliable, long-term results:
- Non-abrasive surfaces won’t scratch even delicate finishes like powder-coated metals.
- Removable Adhesive backing keeps pads in place, no shifting during transport.
- Custom sizing ensures every pad is tailored to your product’s shape and thickness.
- Shock absorption minimizes damage from vibration or stacking pressure.
- Cleaner application and removal with no sticky residue left behind.
What kinds of products can WOW Pads protect?
WOW Pads are used across a wide range of industries to protect:
- Powder-coated fencing
- Metal shelving
- Aluminum extrusions
- HVAC flashing and components
- Medical cabinets
